The correct answer is:

d. Devote more resources to space exploration.

President Kennedy wanted to explain why the Apollo program was such a budgetary priority given he viewed winning the space race as key to maintaining technological and military supremacy over the Soviet Union.

He also proposed making the Moon landing a joint project, but made it clear that the world would be better off with the United States leading the way.
